FUEL consumption / Sensor ID
The VSpeak ECU converter can calculate the current fuel flow (F-FLOW) and the fuel
consumption (FUEL) on the basis of the turbine pump voltage. The required parameters can be
adjusted in "Setup (FUEL)".
At "FL / 1.5V" the fuel flow in ml/min is associated to the pump voltage of 1.5V. Same at
"FL / 3.0V" but to 3.0V
Tips for determining the fuel flow rate can be found in the appendix of these manual.
F-SIZE is the capacity of the main tank in ml. The tank size is required for the calculation of
the alarm for the fuel consumption (see above alarms: F RES).

Upon delivery, the warning thresholds are set as shown in the picture.
For models where a taxi tank is plugged into the main tank until the model is lifted off, set
"Taxi = ON". If the turbine is "Running", then when THROTTLE = 80% is exceeded for the
second time
, the FUEL will "reset", ie the consumed FUEL is only once set to "0" again at this
time.
In sensor the sensor type can be GAM or ESC . The change of the sensor type will only take
effect after restarting the ECU converter.
